I've just finished putting together a Frame relay scenario on my routers & then decided to add the ethernet of my 1760 to the internet, which worked fine.

My query is, why did the Seial links drop once I sucessfly had a IP assigned to the ethernet port, from the SP.

Please in mind that I have no protocols set up on the router(s) yet, so from a basic perspective, the Ethernet port should have its own IP & the same with the serial ports, with no complications?

Sounds like the way it is set up for frame relay switching, once an ip address is set on a port that does not participate in the frame relay switching, it must take over as the protocol for the router. The back to back scenario you have set up may not allow this. Have you tried with an actual frame relay switch? Also, does this happen on the other router? Post a sh run on the router that it does this to, and sh ip int bri

Burt
 
Not configured a frame relay switch yet, but I will. Need to get my hands on a old 2500, which is currently on the other side of the country.

Will forward config details in a mo'
 
Here you go...(Would Point to Point cause this same issue to??)

**** Please note that I've currently disconnected Testpod 2 & remove the connection to the internet, so that I can talk to you****

Looks like all interfaces go down, and fa0 is the only one not admin down. I thought you said you gave it an ip address---but it's dhcp? Also, what is the reasoning behind the subinterface for s0? You never said whether this happens on the other router. Did you have frame-relay switching configured on this router? Didn't you also have frame-relay intf-type dce/dte configured as well?

t0mm0.

I must chime in and tell you I love that banner. Please do not take offense if I copy it and use it for my home router. :)

Thanks Burt for all your help so far.

Anyway here are the details as per request.
But before you ponder through it I'll answer a few of your questions.

The configs below are the status the routers are in now,

Testpod2 - DTE

Testpod1 - DCE


The reason why Testpod2 has a sub interface, I was considering doing P2P,
until crashed at the hurdle of Frame Relay, so I've left it there for the
next experiment.

Do you reckon that the DHCP should be configured on the DCE?

As strange enough, the Frame Relay experiment works no more, since involving
DHCP from the internet?

At the very bottom of this post, I've pasted in some debug details,
which I'm not really sure what they mean, only that DTE is down & I've
tried bouncing the ports already. Weird or misconfig on my behalf??

Hang on, bro---just had back surgery a few weeks back, been busy with the pain...lol

I will lab both scenarios and troubleshoot, and tell you what I find. Both meaning with and without a frame switch. I'll get back to you.

Burt
 
Still have done nothing yet, sorry...kids...wife sick...HELP!
Anyway, I did think of something...post a sh ip route, before and after the ethernet interface is up (no shut). What I am thinking is that when you have a serial interface and a hardware interface that is faster, when the faster interface comes up, the other goes down, if they are directly connected routes, especially with RIP enabled. For example---both frame routers---one network for frame relay, one for the ethernet interfaces. Each ethernet interface network, or subnet, is directly connected to its own router's serial interface, or subnet. So, with the routing protocol you have in there, the routers will pick the best route to the destination, and we all know that RIP will choose the fastest. I will have to dust off the ole books to confirm this (how many RIP routes to the same destination can you have in the routing table, etc.)

Burt
 
Good news Burtbees..it WORKS!!!

Thanks for hanging in there..As per usual, it was a user error.
Some how I lost the config the frame relay connection, so stripped it back & rebuilt the confing & I have Frane relay connection & internet connection..YESSS!!!

Even when I ran ;sh ip route

You could see direct connection to the Frame relay router & the S (I think) link to the SP IP network :eek:)

So chuffed so the mystical experiment continues. I'm sure to run into you again. Meanwhile stay frost..
